A sensational but unconfirmed report has alleged that Russia has a dossier aimed at influencing and compromising US President-elect Donald Trump.

CNN broke the news on Tuesday, January 10, that US intelligence agencies have briefed President Barack Obama, the President-elect and senior political leaders on concerns that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr Trump”.

A person claiming to be a former British intelligence official compiled a dossier that has been circulating for weeks among elected officials, intelligence agents and journalists, making claims that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information about him.

The dossier is a collection of memos reportedly written over a period of months and includes specific but unverified allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives. It also contains graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians that are also unverified.

Without verification, media giant Buzzfeed published the memos in full, quoting that:

“That Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the U.S. government.”

The report include allegations that his Presidential campaign had secretly communicated with the Russian government, raising concerns about Trump officials and the Kremlin.

It also alleges that Russia has prepared a file of compromising intel aimed at influencing the US leader.

Much of what is in the report has already been widely reported and speculated on in the media, including Russia’s interference in the election by providing information on Hillary Clinton and the like. The most salacious claims, however, allege that Trump has some kinky ideas on what to do in the bedroom.

According to the report, one item held by the Russian government is a video tape filmed by secret FSB cameras and microphones at a hotel where Trump stayed in Moscow – which purportedly shows him engaging sex workers in acts of urination.

According to the report, Trump allegedly rented the Presidential Suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel “where he knew President and Mrs. Obama (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia.”

The report goes on to say that Trump “defiled” the room by hiring prostitutes and having them “perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him.”

“Trump‘s (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. Obama (who he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him.:

A subsequent report from the Guardian has alleged that the FBI last summer applied for a warrant to monitor four Trump campaign officials over suspicions of “irregular contact” with Russian officials, after the dossier was passed on by Senator John McCain.

The foreign intelligence surveillance court declined to grant a warrant.

Donald Trump spoke out against the reports on his own Twitter feed.

“FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!”

The president-elect’s attorney Michael Cohen said that the allegations were false, according to Mic.

“It’s so ridiculous on so many levels,” Cohen said.

“Clearly the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they have.”
